. . . where the 1970s live forever!

A two-run pinch-double by Don Money boosted the Brewers to a 5-4 decision over the White Sox. The Brewers trailed, 4-3, with two out and nobody on base in the seventh inning when Gorman Thomas and Jim Gantner stroked singles.

Money, batting for Buck Martinez, then lashed a 3-2 pitch into left-center for two runs. The White Sox had gone ahead in the fifth on a single by Bill Nahorodny, a wild pitch and a double by Don Kessinger. [The Sporting News]
